What is the best pump money can buy?

That is the one.

Rule of thumb is to limit vacuum to under 5 hg and time under vacuum per session at under 20 minutes.

To piggyback on Titleist Pumptoys recommendation,

I am a fan of the VelSeal cylinder line with the E-Z Entry Angle.

The biggest appeal to me about the electric ones is the “hands-free” ability and minimization of injury. I think I was secretly hoping someone would chime in to mention some new shiny electric pump that took all the best things about the older ones and combined them into one unit. It looks like that’s not the case though, and all of the go-to electric ones are the same ones from 15 years ago. Also, if I understand correctly, it’s hard to get side effects if you pump for 5Hg under twenty minutes per set.

Since the pulsar is too loud and I’m brand new to pumping I think I will just go with the overwhelming recommendation here.

Thanks for bringing up the E-Z Entry Angle— I missed that on their page.

I take it you’d want to use this if the erection tends to point upwards?

Exactly, as a guy who almost has to push an erection off of my belly, I am a big fan of the E-Z Entry Angle.

Much more comfortable for erect pumping.

Just got my VelSeal 1.75” with E-Z angle in the mail. Well here goes nothing!

Maybe it’s an optical illusion, but I’m kind of laughing that I almost went for the 2”. I think I’ll be perfectly happy forever if I can get to the point where I’m maxing out this thing.

Just wanted to add for anyone following this thread and thinking about ordering this setup too, don’t forget like I did that you also need some kind of coupler to attach the hose to the pump. Nothing that comes with the pump kit seems to fit very well.

I have $700 invested in my Pulsar by Vacutech. I have $400 invested in my Dr Joel Kaplan aircompresser. Now I know Harbor Freight has a Air compressor for $275. For the fun of it I might get one of those as well. All together with all my toys, cylinders, milking equipment, i have like he said about 5k invested in my penises well being.

Now that the pulsar is not available, what is the next best electric pump which has an adjustable hg feature, or better yet, custom profiles of alternating hg over time?
I was saving up the past year for the pulsar, so it’s a shame they shut down. For now I have just been using a aquarium pump that maxes at 5hg, so I use 1/4" rainbird sprinkler adjusting valves with 1/4" tubing to try to control the hg.

In checking on amazon, this unit (which is sold under many generic names but always the same device) seems to offer profiles, just no mention of hg, time, etc. Has anyone experimented with this item?
https://www.ama … /dp/B07RKVGD74/

The unit in my prior post is under $100 on ebay, and I also saw this unit that does have an interface, and profiles, but being another form of ‘brandless’ devices I cannot find out much more than that (I.e. If someone could customize profiles with it)

Pulsar is not available anymore. When the hell did this happen?

I saw a thread on reddit where a guy briefly mentioned making a programmable pump out of an arduino, a vacuum sensor, a 3 digit 8 panel display, and a 12v vacuum pump from Amazon for like 100 bucks total. It looked like the cal exotics apollo power pump if someone took it apart and hooked it up to an arduino.

On a side note, I had one of the cal exotics pumps that ate AAA batteries for breakfast and I actually liked it. It read in psi instead of hg so it was a lot more accurate, I believe the max was 3.50psi (7.5hg) and would go all the way down to 0.5psi (1hg). One button to start/ stop pump, the other to release. Once stopped, if it dropped by 0.05psi the pump would start again. Once it got to 3.50 it would auto stop and do the same thing.

The cheapest one I can find is the cal exotics head pump for 60 bucks. Toss the cylinder and now you have a 5v pump with a digital gauge and electric release valve. Figure out how to program the arduino to execute a training protocol (15 mins @ 1.45-2.45psi, 5mins @0.50-0.95psi) and your laughing.

It would need to have functions like Pump lo/hi, rest lo/hi, pump/rest duration 1-120 mins. If the pressure gets below minimum, auto start the pump until target is reached. 18650 for power, USB c charging. Should also be able to act like the stock unit I described above.

I know what parts I need, what the functions need to be, and even basic logistics like if meter reads this number turn pump on, when the time is up, increase/decrease to new target until the next cycle starts. I just don’t know how do code.

Someone could kick start this idea and make a killing cuz I’ve honestly seen dumber ideas get funded.

I believe pump toys had one that was adjustable. Tell me if I’m wrong.

Well the best pump on the market is still here. The DP-4000 fully programmable and has a on board Computer so that you can save a 10 Step profile to it’s memory. So you would only need a Windows computer to save to the DP-4000 memory or you can run it real time with our user Interface. And save as many Custom Profiles to your computers hard drive to recall with a click of the mouse you can send it to fill in all the Ten steps of the software. And we have been around since the 1960s

Does your company produce vacuum systems for PE?

It’s just speculation on my part, but I think producing these things could be much more profitable by reducing the price and ramping up production. PE is understandably pretty popular, I wouldn’t say penis pumping is even a niche hobby. I’d say about 40% of men have bought a novelty penis pump at some point in their life. I think 100 USD is a reasonable price for a top of the line vacuum system, but it might be more profitable to reduce the cost to around 30 to 50 USD. I would recommend ditching digital interfaces for a dial system. Three dials could control frequency, the duration of the vacuum, and the vacuum pressure. My own experimentation hasn’t shown much use for dynamic pumping other than increasing blood flow after a pump session so the selling point for me would be a device that offered a range of accurate static vacuum pressures.

I wouldn’t build anything that needs a particular OS to function, it’s too big of a risk and totally out of your control. If you were set on an OS controlled function, I would build it on a linux application that is unlikely to become incompatible with newer versions.

I wouldn’t say that there is any leading brand in penis pumps just yet. Leluv has a good market on cylinders. A vacuum apparatus producer could easily establish itself as a leading brand, the brand itself could become valuable. The FDA could become a complication for such a brand if overt claims are made, but you could probably easily avoid that by marketing the pump for aquariums by simply also having a outlet for outgoing air, which if I’m guessing correctly about the prefabricated parts for most pumps would be very easy. And why not design it so it also functions as an aquarium pump? It would only add value to the device for crypto penis pumpers and I wouldn’t mind having adjustable pressure aquarium pump for deep water ponds and tanks.

If I was in this business, I would produce models on a yearly basis so that adjustments could be made to the design without having a bunch of left over stock from the previous year to sell. I would not design it to have a limited life to boost future sells because it would hurt brand integrity and it’s not necessary since people will eventually damage their pump by trying to use it for water pumping with an inadequate water reservoir or they will be inconsistent, throw away their penis pump set up, then buy another one in 5 years. Having a few people still using a 20 year old device is free brand advertisement. If the sale price is kept low enough, it will remove the resell market (who wants to buy someone’s used penis pump set to save 20 dollars?)

Using an offhand calculation, I think there’s a market for selling 1.5 million units per year in the USA if the market for penis pump vacuum systems was completely taken. This is assuming half the US population is male, there’s a 45 year period in which a male might purchase a penis pump system, and 40% of men purchase a penis pump system at some point in their life. 350 million / 2 / 45 x .4 = 1.55 million. Like I said, it’s off hand and doesn’t take into consideration things like age demographic distribution, income fluctuations, cultural acceptance of the practice of PE between rapidly changing demographic groups of the USA, etc.. Assuming 1.5 million yearly sales, even a 10 dollar profit over the cost of production is 15 million a year pre-tax.

This China thing is going on right now so it’s not really feasible to make a change in trajectory right now, but it’s something to think about.
